I knew if I let my reporting skills rest a number of days after my return from LA somebody would do what I didn't in regards to this...

That someone as is, as is more than often the case Mr Gary Warnett. Read an excellent piece on the shoe and it's realisation as I heard and failed to re-tell in the Q and A I attended on my first day there. What I will bring you soon as promised will be cherry picked images from my MOCA viewing. Read about the shoe over at Crooked Tongues here Don't forget you can pre-order your pair from Slam here

Always killing it on and off his board it was great to see Smithy turn pro again yesterday. His laugh when he walked over to the board wall to pick out a new board and see his on there in full effect was priceless...

...put it on my slate" Here are random images of American goodness sampled and observed. Full run down of what went down to follow, had to get this stuff off my chest. As before noted I visited this fine establishment, the very one immortalised in Mouse...

It's filled with the most recent UK Converse team's trip. Enjoy hold Tight's edithere Big Daddy Seth Curtis has an interview over on Mike Rusycks website filled with his photos. Have a read of that here Paddy sent me a link to this last night and I was stoked...

I think he's been spending too much time with Rob however...

Rob used his own personal aging app on Lex' portraits of Charlie and Rory...

The hustle and bustle of this city often means you become blinkered and miss the truly magical. Some things make my day, I'll always get a kick out of someone playing guitar upside down regardless of how many times I've seen the same spectacle...

The last few days have been an enjoyable sabbatical in Bromley. Seeing family and old friends has been the order of the day. On top of this it's been great having three long days skating the newly improved park. Big mini ramp with extension and roll in, boxed in flat bar and a decent manny pad are the new additions and I was happy for hours. It was great seeing the gang but surprise guest on two of the days was this guy...

Simon Jones was the first person I ever saw do a kickflip in the flesh in probably about 1988 at the top of the Churchill gardens where the old mini stood so it was amazing to see him doing them again at the bottom 23 years later on.

Gary Warnett recommended the excellent and detailed history of Sesame Street to me. His blog has now peaked my interest about a new must read...

Read his write uphere After a busy day of retail I caught the tail end of the Adidas event out East, good to see old faces. Back in BR1 for a few days with a dreamy internet connection so I'll update you on new developments and be sure to bring you pictures now there is once again a ramp in the Churchill gardens.
